About our bath resealing in Northwood
A proper reseal starts with removing every trace of the old silicone. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old, which is why so many DIY reseals peel. Our technicians work on shower trays & enclosures, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks, and people most often call us about a messy previous reseal and silicone coming away from the tiles.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Keep the joints dry
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Let steam out after showers
- Clean the sealant gently and regularly
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem; it shows moisture is getting in. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Northwood
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Northwood use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Resealing in Northwood: why it matters
Resealing costs very little. Failed sealant can lead to water damage that is much more expensive. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.

- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Different materials, different repairs
Shower trays
Trays are sealed with weight on them, so the joint is at its widest.
Baths
We fill the bath before sealing, to open the joint fully.
Northwood questions
My seal keeps tearing. Why?
Normally because the bath or tray moves. We fill the bath before sealing it.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
How do I get a price for bath resealing in Northwood?
We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Northwood.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Are there extra charges for Northwood?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

What else we do in Northwood
Prices and what affects them
We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed price
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes around two hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We cut out and remove all of the old sealant.
- The joint is cleaned and any mould treated.
- We make sure the joint is completely dry.
- We fill a bath with water before sealing so the gap is at its widest.
- We apply new mould-resistant silicone and tool it to a neat finish, taps included.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Ask for a price
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
Advice
What a repair cannot fix
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A bath or tray that moves, until its support is fixed
- Very wide gaps that need a trim
- Water damage behind the bath that needs a builder
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
